Chapter 386
A New Light
"There's a pile of golden scales in the basement!"
"I heard the paladins and cardinals are fighting a bloody battle to monopolize them right now!"
"Those damn bastards! Do they think we don't have mouths!?"
Those soaked in greed lost their reason and ran for the basement.
Originally, if something was trivial it would spread in an instant, and if it seemed like they'd take a loss, they'd stay quiet as mice—that was the weight of rumors.
W̌ ĕ b̊ n оv̂ е̇ l Е nǔ mа
As someone with eyes rolled back kept shouting that, people continuously gathered in the basement.
The paladin and girl escaping from there weren't even in their sight.

"This is honestly the best method among blatant escapes."
"Please don't put it like that, handsome gentleman."
"Oh my, my apologies."
It was something Odograsado did, but he felt guilt.
Е̇nu m̂а̄
Because he knew that if he stimulated their greed, they'd be blinded by it.
Even knowing that, he did it.
But this was the best option.
This was the only way to avoid war.

Instead of 100 people bleeding, only 1 needs to bleed.
However, even in the wave of madness that stimulated greed, there were people who kept their composure without being swept away.

He blocked the path of the two siblings.
"Everyone's got their faces buried in the storehouse, so they can't even see a rat moving."
He was a middle-aged man.
He wore a priest's robes, but his upright bearing showed he had once served under military discipline.
"Where are you going, Saint Emperor?"
"Leo....... Gregorio's loyal servant."

"Are you truly abandoning this Holy Kingdom and leaving?"
"Don't think this is the end. Where there's an end, there's a new beginning, and a new path is found."
"That is your will."
"Since you were Gregorio's loyal servant, you know well, don't you? That this is a wrong deed."
Leo nodded.
"Yes, I know. Afraid of losing god, they bind god....... That was an impossible thing. It was completely against doctrine."
Ŵeb̃ n̂оv̌е̂ l Е̊n u ḿ â
"Then will you not step aside?"
Contrary to her wish, Leo did not retreat.

"His Holiness the Saint Emperor wishes to finish everything. Therefore, it is only right to settle grudges before ending his life."
"Grudges, you say?"
He drew his sword.
The tip of his sword pointed at a sturdy man, Jed.
W̆ e b́ ṅ оvеl̂ Ėñ um̊ а̄
"There's business to settle between us, kid."
"Who are you to act like you know me?"
For Jed, there was no reason to take that bait.
He had no interest in him whatsoever.

He calculated that he'd just deceive them appropriately and slip away.
As if knowing that inner thought, Leo gave him a reason.

"Aren't you curious why the Red-Eyed Tribe was massacred?"
The atmosphere grew heavy in an instant.
"Brother, take the Golden Dragon and get out."
"What about you, oppa?"
"Don't I have to settle the grudges as you said?"
"I don't know what it is...... but okay! Don't fight!?"

Moving her body lightly, she disappeared with Odograsado.
In the corridor where only the two remained, Leo opened his mouth.
"You've truly become a beauty. Though your hair turned black from becoming Sierra's Saintess, you're no different from when I saw you as a child."
"Don't put my younger sister in that filthy mouth of yours."
Jed drew his dagger.
"You got my attention well enough, so how about answering now? What relation do you have to the Red-Eyed Tribe massacre?"
Ŵӗ ḃñ о v̂ е̌l̃ Е̇ň um̄ а
"Nothing to call a relation. I was the center. My unit and I killed your father, and slaughtered all those assassins."
"Wasn't it Sierra's side?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"That Saintess was involved too. She set the condition of taking your sister. She was a headache as an enemy, but as an ally there was nothing more reliable. Thanks to her, I could handle things even more easily."
"You look proud."
Flames of color spread from Jed's eyes.
"So why did you kill them."
W еb̄n̂о̀ v еl̃ Е num̆ а
"Because you're existences that desecrate divinity. If miracles break, who will believe in miracles?"
"Just that reason alone?"
"The karma you've piled up and that alone were enough."
When grudges pile up, they eventually burst.

The Red-Eyed Tribe had made many enemies in the upper class.
It was safe to say what was bound to burst, burst.

"You'll regret leaving a future problem."
"What need is there to regret? That's why I left you alive."
"What?"
"I killed the captain with my own hands, did you think I wouldn't find one poorly hidden brat?"
His words were too dry.
So the heat rose even more.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But right now, this moment is so precious that he forces himself to be calm.
He continued the questions he could only ask now.
"Why did you spare me?"
"Because we're beings who must someday face judgment."
"So you'll atone for that day? Like kneeling and praying to that great golden light?"
"No. I don't regret it. Even if I go back, I'd do the same."

His sword tip shone sharply.
"Because that was my life as a soldier. A soldier kills people on the battlefield, and dies. That's the end."

"Well, thanks for that."
Those words were sincere.
Jed readjusted his grip on the dagger and took a stance.
"Now I don't have to hesitate any longer to kill you."

Now was the time to finish the long-held grudge.

Hudret's army was waiting around the Odograsado Holy Kingdom.
The Golden Dragon escape operation took place in the center of the Holy Kingdom, so it was extremely dangerous.

So if things went wrong, they were waiting, ready to charge in at any moment.
"Your Majesty, there's an observation report that the Golden Dragon is in the city streets with some suspicious person."
Е̇ń ǔmӑ
"Suspicious person?"
"They said it's a strange woman wearing rabbit ears......."
"She is a suspicious person."
If they hadn't known she was an ally beforehand, it was a description that could easily be mistaken for a child kidnapper.
So when would they come out?
As if making such thoughts pointless, a brat caught Hudret's eye.

Familiar size, familiar chestnut laugh.
Only that abundant blonde hair had been cut short for some reason.
Hudret chuckled at the sight.
"Now you finally look like a brat."
"Hahang! Who's calling who a brat?"
He felt a bit relieved seeing her spirited appearance.
Ё ńum а
Fortunately she hadn't suffered anything terrible.
"You went in prepared for the alarm to ring, how did you get out so quietly?"

"I proved right there that she'd fallen. It's rough, but there's no better means to revoke qualifications."
"If it makes the clergy's eyes roll back, I suppose you're looking at a mountain of golden scales."
"Right. The reality is just a pile of porcelain not even worth gold."
Odograsado's eyes turned toward the Holy Kingdom.
Wе b n̈о̆ v е ľ Е̌ n ú m̄ а
Black smoke rose thickly from the Palace of Light.
"So the palace will be full of blood right now."
"Don't worry. Cleaning up the mess is always the adults' job."
Hudret raised his hand.

Then, standard-bearers marked 1, 2, and 3 respectively led their horses forward.
The cavalry followed the vanguard and charged toward the main gate.
Èn̊ú m̌ ӑ.і̂d
To finish what happened at the Palace of Light and place it under the Empire.
"Eugene. This old man has no strength left. There's nothing left to give you."
"There's only one thing you must give me. What you took from me long ago."
"Me?"
Hudret placed his hand on Odograsado's head.
"I still haven't forgotten you stole my first kiss."

"Hahang! Turns out this old man's sins are truly great! Unable to control this lust, I seduced a young man!"
He threw it as a joke, but recalled the young Hudret.
Back then, his heart fluttered terribly and she only looked pretty.
He wanted to approach her, prove himself—childish impulsiveness of youth, and his own fault that nearly made him never rise again.
And the new light he faced.
"Come to the Empire. I'll help you spend your remaining years. You don't need to step forward, and if you do, I'll gladly make a place for you."
Еnù mа̃ . i d́
An offer made of pure goodwill.
Odograsado burst into laughter.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Until now, the reason she didn't know malice was because there was a man this kind.
"No. The golden light must go out now."
Odograsado turned her head.
The Palace of Light was burning now.
Е̂ ň û m а
When all the pillars burn down, it will collapse helplessly.
"It's only right to withdraw from the world, waiting for a new light to emerge."
"Then where will you go? With that body."
"For now, I must go to Hestia. I have business to attend to, don't I?"

"Understood. I'll call a mage and prepare for you to go immediately."
"That won't be necessary."
Èn u m а̇ . ǐ d
Odograsado rummaged through her mind.
What she hid in her mind was a palm-sized golden scale.
"I used many scales to escape from there, and saved exactly 3."
"You're using that just to move?"
"To meet my king, I must show this much sincerity."
Knowing what power the golden scale held, Hudret only thought it a waste.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"What will you do with the remaining two?"
"One I'll give to the Hero."
"Hero?"
"When the time comes that human power alone isn't enough on this continent, when they're wishing for a miracle, someone must perform it, no?"
"I see. Then the last one?"
Odograsado grinned at the persistent question.
Е̊ ǹum̈ a
"Take it."
She threw her scale.

Hudret was startled as if seeing a phantom.
He wondered if she was testing him with a fake, but it was a genuine golden scale.
Unable to believe it, he asks.
"You're giving this to me?"
Е̌ nǔ m̂a. i d̈
"Of course."
"Is it alright to entrust this much power to me?"
"Eugene. You have great ambition, but you also know what you must carry. Sometimes that catches your ankle. It makes you constantly look back at your past, so you have the qualification to hold this miracle."
"You know I'll absolutely never use it."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Hudret gripped the scale tightly.
Then the object emitting a brilliant golden light melted into Hudret's body.
Ẅе b̀nö v̈ е́ l Еn̊_um̌ а̄
"I'll remember you."
Odograsado smiled.
"Always wish for miracles, but don't use them."
Odograsado now had two scales left.
She lifted one of the remaining two.
Great golden light flashed and vanished, and a dimensional transfer gate appeared before her.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
From that gate, a silver-haired valet's face was seen first.
Odograsado stepped through that gate.
"Welcome, Odograsado-nim. The master awaits."
"Yes, yes."
Guided by the valet, she moves through the castle interior.
In the garden filled with late summer's scent, a passionate form was felt by Odograsado.

She stood politely, welcoming the guest.
"It's been a while. Eonni."

"Second time seeing you, aga. Let me hug you a bit."
"Shall we?"
Overjoyed, the two embraced.
Odograsado's hand ran down Valdrova's spine, stopped at one spot, and let out an exclamation.
Е̂ nūm ä.ì ď
"Oh, no worries about difficult childbirth, hahahang!"
"......Cough."
Valdrova, unable to say bad things, couldn't say anything and just turned bright red.
Ruri coughed dryly, breaking that vulgar atmosphere somehow.

"I didn't know what eonni would like, so I brought a lot for now. Tell me if you want more."
"Hahang, just smelling them makes my stomach full with sweetness."
Ėǹ.u m а̄ . і̊ d̊
Even Odograsado, blind as she was, could tell the things on the tray were high-class confections.
But her hand didn't move.
"Not things like this...... you."
Odograsado spoke to Ruri.
"Yes."
"Bring that sweet thing in your room."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"......Excuse me?"
"Hurry. You've got something stashed away to eat yourself, don't you?"
Ruri looked down at her with a dumbfounded expression, then finally moved to carry out the order.
With only the two left, Odograsado sipped tea and spoke.
"Valdrova, do you know what the most delicious thing in the world is?"
"What is it?"
Еn ù mа̄
"Stealing and eating the kids' stuff."
She said it as if it were nothing.

Odograsado promised to step down from the Golden Dragon's position and return the power to her.
With this, 7 dragons remain in total.
Valdrova, excluding herself, 6 remain.

Ruri moved to one place to proceed with that work smoothly.
Eisenfels.
Those who stood tall as the masters of this land while blocking the frost giants pouring from the North.
Ruri came there again.

The alert posture she felt when she first came was gone.
Without spilling a single drop of blood, she met Goz.
Е́ n̂ ü mа́.іd̄
"Welcome."
Goz welcomed Ruri from the Silverwind's seat.
"I greet Goz-nim."
"You come well in these turbulent times."
"Honestly, I didn't think I'd be able to meet Goz-nim this quickly."
"Why?"

"Because the times are turbulent."
Goz's gaze sharpened further.
"I expected it, but have you come to tell me to return Silverwind-nim's essence?"
"......Yes."
"What are you prepared for to do that?"
Resolve.

She put strength into the hand gripping the axe handle.
"I'm prepared to stake my life."

"......Is that so?"
Goz rose from his seat.
At his gesture, a spear flew and wound around his hand.
A spear with a short blade embedded.
Е ñûm̃ а
There's a saying that a spear is a soldier's weapon.
But he served as Silverwind's second-in-command with a single spear.
Many giants died by that spear, monsters died, and compatriots died.
"No regrets about those words?"

Ruri answered.
"I have people I must protect. For them, I'll fight like a warrior one last time."

Ruri also entered combat stance.
With the mindset that no matter how he attacks, she'll definitely receive it, she readied her axe blade.
"You challenge the throne, and I have the duty to defend this. So......."
He emitted killing intent and loaded it onto the spear tip.
"Prove it."
At the moment their attacks toward each other were about to begin,

Eisenfels shook greatly, breaking the mountain's silence.
"What is this?"
Goz lowered his spear and went outside.
Ruri followed him out.
An unbelievable sight unfolded before their two eyes.
Èn̊u mа̀ ..і́ d
The Silverwind spawns standing guard were being crushed by something.
It was pure magical power.

They were crushing the spawns with the density of magical power.
Only one being could do such a strange thing.
Ruri and Goz raised their heads to the sky.
Just as they thought.

There, a dragon with a long, snake-like body.
Blue Dragon, Iorga, was coiling in the sky above.
-An arrogant one backed by Silverwind's authority.
Her voice shook heaven and earth.

-I've come to collect your essence.
